While Halo Wars 2 is kind of a buggy experience, this Definitive Edition is very stable throughout which made it consistently enjoyable. Although there's no Blitz mode, these five variations are diverse enough to add hours of enjoyable gameplay. You can play Standard matches, Deathmatch battles, Keep Away bouts where you hold a flag as long as possible, Tug of War contests, and Reinforcement matches that grant you troops in waves. Speaking of multiplayer, the included modes are very different to the ones in Halo Wars 2. You can always play through it cooperatively which adds an element of comradery. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fun and worthwhile adventure. Not only that, there is far more variety in Halo Wars 2 so the campaign here pales in comparison.
The campaign consists of 15 missions and although this seems like a lot, the missions themselves are very short when you compare them to the ones in Halo Wars 2. Looks like the enemy is outnumbered and outgunned Overall, this Definitive Edition does a great job of bringing the original Halo Wars to modern consoles as it definitely doesn't feel like an eight year old game. That being said, there are a few generic delivered lines from troops that sound kind of lame compared to the main cast of characters. The voice acting is spot-on as characters have a sense of urgency about them that pulls you in to the action. Of course, the visuals aren't as crisp and detailed as Halo Wars 2 but there's a charm to them that makes it seem like you're playing with little toy soldiers. Thankfully, Halo Wars: Definitive Edition still looks and sounds great even though it's almost a decade old. As long as enemies don't destroy them, you'll be set to gradually make your army a powerful force on the battlefield.
HALO WARS DEFINITIVE EDITION REVIEW UPGRADE
Resource management is easy as all you do is build and upgrade a few supply pads and reactors. Halo Wars: Definitive Edition is no exception as all you do is build up bases and command your troops to wipe out enemies and claim territory to expand your army.
HALO WARS DEFINITIVE EDITION REVIEW SERIES
Halo Wars has always featured simplified real-time strategy gameplay that any gamer can easily digest which makes it a great series for genre newcomers. This seems like a nice place can't you guys fight somewhere else? In essence, there are both improvements and drawbacks to be found when you compare this to its sequel. However, almost every other mission just involves generic foes and bases. Here, you fight a Scarab where you shut down power nodes to make it move slower and that mission was awesome. On the other hand, I found enemy forces to be more interesting in Halo Wars 2. I found the system here to be more satisfying as it makes more logical sense because your base outputs a certain amount of power and you need a minimum level to accomplish particular tasks. For starters, energy is accumulated as levels and you don't spend it in order to purchase upgrades (unlike in Halo Wars 2 where it basically acts as currency similar to supply resources). It goes without saying that the formula presented in this original installment is a bit simpler. Both games focus on building capable bases, commanding various units, and overcoming seemingly improbable situations. Anyway, Halo Wars: Definitive Edition is a very similar experience to Halo Wars 2. Therefore, I highly recommend reading my review of the sequel first so you know where I'm coming from. I recently reviewed Halo Wars 2 so I'll spend a lot of time comparing the two titles here. I don't think this base stands a chance against our massive tanks Now that the Definitive Edition is out on Xbox One, let's see if it still holds up in 2017. Halo's original real-time strategy spin-off just celebrated its eighth anniversary a few days ago. Maciejewski playing an Xbox One on March 6, 2017
